Hi .. I'm new to this forum and I would like to get some input from you:

I have a '75 914-4 2.8L that I bought new. I'd like to restore it probably next year(2007).
I rebuilt the engine a few years ago and it ran for awhile. But, all of a sudden when starting it, it would run for about 5 to 8 seconds and die. I think the cold start sensor is working ok, but have doubts about the rest of the fuel system, (airbox and computer). I did replace the fuel pump and filters.
What I'm considering doing is remove all of the computer components and airbox and installing a couple of carbruators. Is this a difficult project. What would I need to make the change and where can I find the parts for it?
Thanks for your input. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
